BOUQUET-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 456,745, dated July 28. 1891.

Application iiled March 18I 1891. Serial No. 385,536. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, ROBERT A. TYRREL, a citizen of the United States, residing' at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bouquet-Holders, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to new and usefu improvements in bouquet-holders; and the invention consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement of the parts of the holder, all as more fully hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is plan View of the blank from which my holder is made. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the holder complete. Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing a modified form thereof, and Fig, 4 is a similar perspective view showing another modiication.

the bouquet. At the lower end of this socket I extend the'other end of the wire which carries the head into an oliset F and bend it to form the hook G. By forming the head upon Wire I am enabled to make this hook with the slightest possible bend in the wire, and it, however, can be twisted by making a greater bend. It is evident that this coil may be twisted to contract or enlarge it, or may be pinched together to hold the bouquet in the socket. serted in the socket, the pin secures it to the apparel of the wearer.

In Fig. 3 I show the socket ot' rectangular form, and in Fig. 4 of oblong form.

What I claim asmy invention is- A bouquet-holder consisting of a single piece of wire, its ends being sharpened and headed, respectively, a portion of its center being bent into a tapering spiral coil arranged parallel with the pointed end portion and its lower headed end carried out and turned into a single bend to form a hooked offset F, over which the pointed end of the wire engages, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I afl-1X my signature in presence of two witnesses.
